Apart from Neal’s caustic comment, the Kindle 3 is now available in the UK. I ordered one from Amazon, they quoted a delivery date of Jan 26th and it arrived on Jan 25th, excellent service.

Amazon have a download service and many books are free. The Kindle is also very good for reading .pdf files (I have the complete set of Full Circle Magazines which are available as .pdf’s and are free). I also find it useful to have my Mozilla Lightning calendar for the month on it (saved as a .pdf)

I’m so happy they stock sell it in South Africa. Not sure why not available in the UK (where I’m based) but need it in SA. Easy to order from Amazon US for delivery in SA.

We’re in Syria but travel to the US so we could download there. What are the limitations of a Kindle 2 outside of the US?

Can this be used in the UK as I have just bought one and am having trouble downloading e books from the kindle site the sites indicate that the wireless will work over here in the UK which is fine but says books can be downloaded onto your computer then dragged across via USB (Help)

The Kindle 2 looks good from the online reviews. I’m off to the US later in the year – if I get a Kindle 2 there, can I download books in the UK? The wireless link would appear to be US format could I download or go through my PC via a USB link?

Any comments gratefully received at mart1054@hotmail.com, many thanks

Ashley, why are you even bothering to ask ?

Yes, the screen is slightly bigger. So…..you gonna buy one then ?

No, of course your not, the device isn’t available in the UK is it (and with no plans to sell it here for the foreseeable future, so they say).

I don’t even know why they’ve bothered to include it on ebookreadersreview.co. UK…yes, that’s UK !…in the first place.

Why waste everyone’s time reviewing a product which, as far as UK consumers are concerned, doesn’t actually exist.

For those of us trying to make real-world decisions about which model to buy, this is so frustrating to clutter up the UK reviews pages with stuff that doesn’t belong there !!!
